After numerous hacking claims regarding exchange sites and Myetherwallet
I thought to advice everyone to simply put to use ImToken app to control their Myetherwallet account

Then activate 2fa for every exchange site; all you have to do is

Download the google Authenticator app
Go to security and Authenticator settings

The site will generate a key for you ( FHFE3529KL8 ) ; copy the key, go to your auth app, click on the + sign, select add key. Type the name of the site, scroll to the next line and paste the key generated. THEN SAVE


You'll be seeing 6  digits codes every 5min or so. Use the code to login to the site.

Yeah, i think imToken can be a way to minimize the hacking in the future because myetherwallet doesnt have 2fa in default.
2fa is used to confirm every transaction you make. It will be safe unless someone know your private key or phished you.
